Campidoglio, Cineteca Nazionale and wandering around


So much to see and do and so little time! It's difficult to choose what to see -this time we've seen heaps of churches as we seem to have been around when they've been open. Churched out :)

Musei Capitoline - we've been to these museums a few times over many years.  There are always changes to the collections and galleries and always something spectacular to see.




Courtyard in the Capitoline

The size of these pieces of sculptures are huge.  The complete sculptures would have been enormous



The original Marcus Aurelius -the copy is in the Campidoglio



This foot has Morton's toe :)

Excavations below the Cineteca Nazionale  Rome
http://it-it.facebook.com/pages/Cineteca-Nazionale-Cinema-Trevi/56922676511- very close to the Trevi Fountain.   Roman buildings were found when the cinema was being built http://storiaromana.blogspot.com/2009/08/cinema-trevi-visita-sotterranea-ai.html

Fontana di Trevi
I don't know how the blue car was ever going to get out of this parking spot, it was firmly wedged in -but not the worst we've seen.
